Classifiers:
Some handshapes can indicate a general category or class of concepts to
which a referent belongs. These handshapes are known as classifiers.
The word "predicate" can mean "says something about."
When you sign a classifier in a way that "says something about" the
referent, you are using a "classifier predicate."
Classifier predicates can include information about a referent's size,
shape, movement, speed, orientation, or location.
When writing about classifiers we tend to use the letters "CL." For
example, CL:3 refers to a classifier that uses the "3" handshape.
The CL:3 classifier represents a category of VEHICLES which can include
things like cars, trucks, bikes, motorcycles.

A few samples of classifiers:
CL:A Objects which do not move such as a house or other building, a statue.
CL:V Person standing upright, or an animal standing upright (using 2 V)
CL:1 An upright person or animal such as a bear or a primate walking on its
hind legs.
CL:V (bent) A crouched or sitting person or animal.
CL:Y An aircraft with wings.

Classifier Practice:
The truck just whizzed by.
The car hit a tree
he rode his bike over a cliff and survived.
Evel knievel rode his bike over 10 bikes in a row.

A woman slipped on ice and fell on her head
A man walking by leisurely
A building just standing there
A boy standing looking at you
A crouched cat
Three airplanes sitting side by side on the runaway
A bus zooming past you as youíre driving
A car going over a bumpy road

Bilingual/Bicultural Deaf Education:
Bilingual/Bicultural Education is a philosophy of instruction for deaf/hh
(hard of hearing) children wherein you use a student's native/preferred
language (ASL) as well as the target language (ENGLISH). You also make
instructional choices that respect the Deaf studentís culture and
communication needs as well as the mainstream culture.
The two main approaches to bilingual education are "Transitional" and
"maintenance."
